It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 20th meeting of the French-American Chemical Society (FACS), which will take place for the first time in Canada, in Ottawa, in 2026.

Since its creation, the FACS Symposium has served as a unique forum for scientific exchange and collaboration between leading organic chemists from France and North-America. Over the past four decades, this event has fostered numerous transatlantic partnerships, showcased cutting-edge research, and built a vibrant community of scientists united by their passion for organic chemistry.

This anniversary edition marks a special milestone in the history of FACS. By gathering in Canada, we aim to broaden the dialogue and strengthen connections among researchers across North America and France, while continuing the tradition of excellence and friendship that has defined FACS since its inception.

We warmly invite you to join us in Ottawa to celebrate this 20th edition — a meeting that promises outstanding science, inspiring discussions, and memorable moments of exchange within an exceptional international setting.

We look forward to welcoming you in Ottawa for FACS 2026!

FACS conferences present recent advances in organic synthesis which are of keen interest to academic and industry-based researchers. Our biennial conferences alternate between well-chosen sites in France and North-America.
